Chamorro, one of the opposition favourites to face Ortega, is under house arrest accused of "money laundering", of damaging the sovereignty of the country or of "treason," under laws adopted a few months ago by the government.

Managua. La periodista y exaspirante a la presidencia de Nicaragua, Cristiana Chamorro, fue condenada este lunes a ocho años de prisión tras ser hallada culpable por delitos que le atribuye el gobierno de Daniel Ortega. Chamorro es hija de la expresidenta nicaragüense Violeta Barrios y el periodista Pedro Joaquín Chamorro.

La sentencia la dictó a puerta cerrada, sin acceso al público o a la prensa, el juez Luden Martín Quiroz García, a quien el diario La Prensa, de Managua, califica como “orteguista”, dado en que ese país es cuestionado porque no hay separación entre los poderes Ejecutivo, Legislativo y Judicial, pues todos están dominados por la pareja gobernante, Daniel Ortega y Rosario Murillo.
